Giclée printing, pronounced "Gee-clay", is generally acknowleded to be the best way to reproduce fine art paintings
High resolution digital images are carefully colour corrected before printing onto specially prepared, acid free watercolour paper. Archival inks are used with a fade resistance in excess of 75 years.
Giclée reproductions are more accurately matched to
the original painting than older methods such as litho. In addition, substrates with textured surfaces are available to match the original artwork, in fact it's often difficult to see the difference between original and copy.
There is no need to print large quantities. Reproductions can be supplied singly
or in small batches as and when required. Print quality remains constant, even after months or years between orders.
This gives the artist the option to have very small editions making each copy
more exclusive, collectable and valuable.
